[. . . ] If you hold down the <Ctrl>(< >) key of your computer keyboard and double-click this, the Selected Channel window will open as an additional view. 27 PSS-30 V3 Editor Owner's Manual DCA window In this window you can view and edit the parameters of DCA groups 1­8. You can access this window in the following ways. From the [Windows] menu, choose [Overview] and then choose "DCA" Use the navigation keys in the Master window to turn on the [DCA] button 1 2 A CUE This button cue-monitors all channels that are assigned to the DCA group. B ON If you turn this on, all channels assigned to the DCA group will be turned on. If you turn this off, no signal will be output from the channels assigned to the DCA group. If this button is off, the fader will be grayed out. 3 C DCA fader This fader adjusts the level of the DCA group. The current fader value is shown in the numeric box immediately below the fader. You can set this to the minimum value (­ dB) by holding down the <Ctrl>(< >) key of your computer keyboard and clicking the fader knob, or set it to the nominal value (0. 00 dB) by holding down the <Ctrl>(< >) key and <Shift> key and clicking the fader knob. If the fader is at nominal level, the green indicator at the right of the fader will light. If a DCA group is set to Recall Safe, the R character at the lower right of the fader is displayed in green. 4 5 D DCA number This is the number of the DCA group. E DCA group name This is a text box that displays the DCA group name. You can also edit the DCA group name in this text box. 28 PSS-30 V3 Editor Owner's Manual Selected Channel window Here you can set the parameters of the currently selected input channel (INPUT CH 1­48 (*), ST IN channels 1­4) or output channel (MIX channels 1­16, MATRIX channels 1­8, STEREO/MONO channels). You can access this window in the following ways. From the [Windows] menu, choose [Selected Channel] and select "MAIN VIEW" Double-click the channel number, EQ, DYN1, or DYN2 button in one of the Overview windows. On the PSS-30 itself, assign one of the USER DEFINED KEYS to [1-16]/[17-32]/[33-48](*) in [SEL CH] of [PSS-30 EDITOR CONTROL], and execute the function NOTE By choosing [Selected Channel] from the [Windows] menu and then selecting "ADDITIONAL VIEW, " you can view a window for a channel that is not selected. CSR (Center Side Ratio) Adjusts the proportion of the CENTER channel level relative to the STEREO bus L/R in a range of 0­100%. 32 PSS-30 V3 Editor Owner's Manual EQUALIZER 1 2 3 4 7 8 5 6 9 J K A LIBRARY Accesses the INPUT EQ page of the LIBRARY window. B ON Switches the EQ on/off. C EQ graph Indicates the response for the EQ of the currently selected channel. To reset the EQ to flat response, hold down the <Ctrl>(< >) key of your computer keyboard and click the graph (The HPF setting will remain). DQ E FREQUENCY F GAIN These knobs adjust the Q, center frequency, and boost/cut amount for the four bands LOW, LO-MID, HI-MID, and HIGH. G HIGH shelving If this button is on, the HIGH EQ will be switched to a shelving type (the Q knob of the HIGH EQ will disappear). H LPF (Low Pass Filter) If this button is on, the HIGH EQ will function as a low pass filter. The Q knob of the HIGH EQ will disappear, and the GAIN knob will act as the low pass filter on/off switch. I LOW shelving If this button is on, the LOW EQ will be switched to a shelving type (the Q knob of the LOW EQ will disappear). J TYPE I/TYPE II (EQ type) Selects either TYPE I (the algorithm used by previous digital mixers) or TYPE II (a newly developed algorithm) as the EQ type. 33 PSS-30 V3 Editor Owner's Manual K ATT (Attenuation) Adjusts the amount of attenuation/gain. DYNAMICS1/2 You can select one of the following types for each of the two dynamics processors. DYNAMICS1: DYNAMICS2: GATE, DUCKING, EXPANDER, COMPRESSOR COMPRESSOR, COMPANDER-H, COMPANDER-S, DE-ESSER If GATE/DUCKING is selected 5 1 2 3 6 7 8 4 9 J K A TYPE L M Indicates the type of the currently selected gate. You can click here to select the type. B LIBRARY This button accesses the dynamics library. Clicking this button will open the DYNAMICS page of the LIBRARY window. C ON This button switches the gate on/off. D Response curve Indicates the response for the gate of the currently selected channel. E GR meter This meter indicates the amount of gain reduction. F THRESHOLD (Threshold level) Specifies the level at which the gate will open and close. The gate will open when the key-in signal exceeds this level, and will close when the signal falls below this level. G RANGE Specifies the amount by which the signal is attenuated while the gate is closed. H DECAY Specifies the time over which the gate will close after the hold time has elapsed. I ATTACK Specifies the time from when the key-in signal exceeds the threshold level until the gate opens. 34 PSS-30 V3 Editor Owner's Manual J HOLD Specifies the time that the gate will remain open after the key-in signal falls below the threshold. K KEY IN SOURCE Click this to select one of the following signals to use as the key-in source. SELF PRE EQ SELF POST EQ MIX OUT 13­16 CH 1­48 POST EQ STIN1L­STIN4R POST EQ The pre-EQ signal of the currently selected input channel The post-EQ signal of the currently selected input channel The output signal of the corresponding MIX channel immediately before the output attenuation The post-EQ signal of the corresponding input channel (however, you can only choose channels belonging to the same group, within the seven groups CH1­8, CH9­16, CH17­24, CH25­32, CH33­40, CH41­48, and STIN1L­STIN4R). L CUE This button cue-monitors the currently selected key-in signal. This is not shown in the ADDITIONAL VIEW. M KEY IN FILTER Select the type of filter applied to the selected key-in signal; HPF (high pass filter), BPF (band pass filter), or LPF (low pass filter). The ON/OFF button switches the filter on/off. If you've selected BPF, use the two knobs to adjust the band pass frequency and Q. If you've selected HPF or LPF, use the knob to adjust the cutoff frequency. If COMPRESSOR is selected 5 1 2 3 6 7 8 4 9 J K L A TYPE Indicates the type of the currently selected compressor. You can click here to select the type. B LIBRARY This button accesses the dynamics library.
